I have not heard back from USC since I have submitted my application back in Feb 2017. I have not seen any rejections nor acceptances for the MA - Econ program. I have contacted the grad admission and they have told me that it is still under process.

Called the department today asking about when to expect a decision, and they said I should know by early next week, so I'm going to accept my other offer. I know the USC deadline for accepting/declining an offer is May 15, but this seems like a rejection to me. Hopefully this helps everyone else who's still waiting to hear back from USC.
